A LESSON WITH a MORAL. :
When VIII Our Eycs be Opened to this
Great National Calamity? .'--

The year 1886 played sad havoc Will
many prominent men of our country.
Many Of them died without warning
passing away apparently in the full flush
of life.
Others were sick but comparatively
short time. We turn to our files and are
astonished to find that most OF them
died OF apoplexy, of paralysis, of nerv-
GUS prostration, of malignant blood
humor, of Bright's disease, OF heart dis
ease, of kidney disease, OF rheumatism
or of pneumonia.
1t is singular that most of our promi-
nent men die OF these disorders. Any
journalist who watches the telegraph re-
ports, will be astonished at the number
of prominent'victims Of these disorders.
Many statements have appeared in our
paper with others to the effect that the
diseases that carried off so many promi-
pent men in 1886, arc really one disease,
taking different names according to the
location of the fatal effects.
When q valuable horse perishes, II
becomes the nine days talk of the sport-
ing world, and yet thousands OF ordinary
horses are dying every day, their aggre-
gate loss is enormous, and yet their
death creates no comment.
So it is with individuals. The cause
OF death of prominent men creates COM
ment, especially when it can be shown
that ono unsupported disease carries off
most OF them, and yet "vast numbers
of ordinary men and women die before
their time every year from the same
cause"
1t is said if the blood is kept free from
uric acid, that heart disease, paralysis,
nervous prostration, pneumonia, rheuma-
tism, and many cases OF consumption,
would never be known. This uric acid,
we are told, is the waste of the system,
and it is the duty .. the kidneys to re-
move this waste.
We are told that ii the kidneys are
in perfect health, the uric,
kidney, acid is kept ont of the blood,
and these sudden and universal diseases
caused by uric acid will, in large
disappear.
But how shall this be done? 1t il folly
to treat effects. ii there is any known
way of getting at the cause, that way
should be known to the public. We be- |
|ieve that Warmers safe cure, Of which |
SO much has been written, and so much |
talked OF by the public generally. is now
recognized by impartial physicians and
he public as the one specific for such
diseases.
Because public attention has been d.
ected to this great remedy by means OF
advertising, some persons have not be-
ieved in the remedy. We cannot see
low Mr.. Warner could Immediately
'enefit the public in any other way, and
lis valuable specific should not be con-
emned because some nostrums have
ONE before the public in the same way,
ny more than that all doctors should be
ondemned because SO many Of them
re incompetent.
1t is astonishing what good opinions
on hear on every side, of that great
emedy, and public opinion thus based
pom an actual experience, has all the
eight and importance OF absolute truth.
At this time of tho year, the uric acid
A the blood invites pneumonia and
and there is not man who
oes not dread these monsters of disease;
ut he need have no fear OF them we arc
Did, if he rid the blood OF the uric acid
ause.
These words are strong, and may
ound like an advertisement, and be re-
'cted as such by unthinking people, but
e believe they are the truth, and as
ich should be spoken by every truth
wing newspaper,
